Unfortunately my beloved's screen sustained a sever damage
I would like to try and fix it by myself and need to know what do I have to replace
The device works fine
Screen glass is splintered but responds to touch quiet alright
A small yellow spot In the center
Does the yellow spot mean that the board under the glass is damaged as well ... or I can save it by replacing glass only ?
At eBay I find two options
Full LCD Display + Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly - 80 $
New Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Assembly - 30 $
Do you Know whether the parts over at Ebay are quality ... or should I not mess with it and pay full price by sending my beloved to a HTC lab ?
Grieving badly :crying: and waiting for some help
It doesn't seem to be possible to separate the glass from the LCD, without damaging LCD. No idea whether the screens you're looking at on eBay are the same as original or just compatible.
The only thing I can offer is that I replaced my screen on the desire HD and for the time effort and quality I wish I'd sent it off

Don't mess with it, my experience was with my hd2 and it was a nightmare and would of been cheaper letting htc do it, also I have read horror stories about cheap screens being sold for the one x

OK guys
I think I'll leave it for HTC even though the price will probably be a killer
Thanx

Hey, xda dev members.
As this is my first post,I've gotta say I used the "search" function here on forum.
I just didn't find what I actually needed.
The thing is : I got my dad's HTC Desire which had been dropped on the ground.
The screen is cracked but the Digitizer looks undamaged imo.
It turns on,I can hear the startup sound,buttons light up etc.
How do I check if other parts are working properly?
I don't really trust repair shops/HTC service is too pricy and I could replace the screen/digitizer by myself with no problem.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. I can post pics if needed.
seems a bit strange that the screen is cracked but the digitizer isn't damaged, can you feel the crack with your nail?
I changed a digitizer not so long ago, it wasn't so difficult.

I don't know how much a new screen will cost though.
Yeah,I'm disassembling it at the moment.
I just hate getting cheated/ripped by mobile repair centres,so I'd rather do what I can by myself.
It's strange.. Are you sure that the digitizer is not cracked?
Here in Czech Rep. the LCD for the Desire/NexusOne costs something about $70 (1300Kč)..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Here it's approx. 30 $ for digitizer and $50 for the screen.
I guess I'll order both just in case.
The thing is I don't know how to check if everything else is ok.
It was kicked hard but there's sound,button highlight,vibration etc. when I turn it on.
Anyone got idea?
I had the same problem... I crashed really hardly my phone. The digitizer and the LCD were totally broken, but everything worked (sounds, vibration, buttons etc.). So I think that your phone should work normally (besides the screen and maybe the digitizer)... my oppinion

Whoa.I'd completely disassembled it and the digitizer looks undamaged.
I haven't got any idea how it's possible since the screen is cracked all over...
[Edit] Any idea how to tell whether it's AMOLED or LCD?
I can't turn it on,so I can't use the methods involving a turned on phone.
Maybe some serial number methods or something?

Just distinguished SLCD from AMOLED by serial numbers.
60H00287 - Samsung AMOLED LCD
60H00443 -Super Sony LCD
Mine was the Samsung.
Ordering a new one,thanks for helping me out.
Can be locked.
For how much?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Unfortunately,it's AMOLED,so it costs ~60$(190 PLN).
Sorry for doubleposting but I'm not sure if editing a post will bring the topic up.
I found out that the digitizer connector is probably broken. (pic included)
Any idea if I can get it fixed anywhere?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
hi,
does anyone know if all the digitizers would fit any model???
i have the s-lcd one
I crack my screen and i need to know what part i need to buy to replace the screen.
Only glass o the complete screen?
Thanks so much!!!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
replacement glass can be bought on ebay. but the glass and lcd are attached so it is very expensive to repair, and pretty much the same price as sending it to htc
also, there are no instructions on how to do it yourself and it is a very tricky job as the phone components are all attached to the screen assembly
if i was you id try and return it. say it was a manufacturers error and you heard creaking since you had it but only now it kinda really got damaged....just come up with a story and see if they will replace it or fix it for you under warranty
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=120923974368&index=11&nav=SEARCH&nid=02098378757
This is not very expensive and the lcd is not attached, can i only replace the glass right?
Thanks

Dropped my phone on asphalt today and got a big hairline crack across the screen . (Attached pics)
It really hurts cause i always baby this phone and just the rush to get to work and in my car, completely missed my pocket.
The screen is still responsive to touch and seems to be working normal thank god the lcd screen wasnt damaged and the digitizer didn't shatter.
Got a few questions t
1) just wanted to clarify that the digitizer lies ontop the LCD screen?
2) and that is all that needs replacing?(from damage seen in the pics)
3) also mine is branded just HTC(no carrier, so it's international GSM version?)
4) would it matter if i bought a replacement digitizer meant for the at&t version or not?
5) should be getting a one x that had some water damage and is no longer working. would the digitizer from this phone be a viable option for me to use as a replacement or should i just order the part online.( I really want it replaced fast and if i have to order the replacement it will take about a week to 2 weeks to arrive in my country
so apparently i can't attach any urls until i make 10 posts or i'd show u guys the part i wanted to order but its basically just a screen digitizer from ebay with tools needed for about $17.86.(is that cheap, good or expensive price considering the item + tools)
can you guys please search for it on ebay?the title of the post/part is Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Lens Replacement For HTC One X S720 + Free Tools
the link above is the item i'm looking to order for replacement. is it the right part i'm looking at?and would that be all i need or is there anything else i should add?also quality wise would it be top pick or are there any better options available?
Attached some pics also.Advice would be greatly appreciated.
You are unlikely to be able to separate the digitizer and lcd without damaging the LCD.
A water damaged phone may have a water damaged screen.
Search one of the other broken screen threads for more information.
I've replaced several screens on captivate.easiest way is get replacement(LCD+digetizer) from ebay,Google procedure.watch or read as many times as needed to feel confident to take apart phone.the hardest part is seperating LCD from phone(they use adhesive to secure LCD to phone).I used razor to carefully cut adhesive.
Most components are plug&play.just follow guide completely,u should be fine.
My LCD was $85 on ebay.good luck.

My friend,this is the same horror that i faced and yet not recovered completely from its impact.... The problem is with your touchscreen a.k.a digitizer which probably would have been known to you(as you mentioned you have googled a lot).My best advice is to change it in HTC service center itself,bcause i bought it in market and fixed it(though i was very careful in following each and every step) after few days of ruf-tuf usage the problem showed up again...So go for HTC Service they are the best doctors..
Before you buy new digitizer
and only if your warrenty has expired, try to open the phone (there is enough youtube videos), remove the digitizer and look at the black soft plstic ribbon that goes around the front plastic panel (the one that protects the lcd).
If it is little loose and not hard tight to the frame you can use a piece of plastic to attach it to the frame and check the touch responses again (that worked for me...)
else, buy a new digitizer (about 4-5 USD in eBay).

I've done a HTC wildfire digitizer swap before its fairly straight forward I found a guy on eBay from Poland I believe that sold pre-Cut stickers for attaching the digitizer to the LCD. I would have a look if you can and get one of them if you intend to move forward with the replacement, just make sure to remove as much of the excess glue from the old sticker first

Thanks dude for replying.I had purchased it on eBay and i had changed htc touch panel.
Well search is down at the moment, so here goes: I have an Optimus G that finally met it's demise. My glass screen is completely shattered but the image underneath is still clear and no discoloration. Obviously it doesn't respond to touch anymore. Do I only need to purchase a digitizer to do the repair or should I get the digitizer+lcd replacement? I just need a simple clarification.
Digitizer and lcd. The lcd on a factory phone is 'glued' to the Digitizer I believe. I couldn't get the lcd off my original evo anyway

He might as well. Although I'm sure you can heat and remove the glass to attach a new glass if the LCD is still good, the price on the glass for the LGOG is a bit steep as its not just a piece of glass, its also the digitizer. A big difference from a Galaxy. I can easily get a glass for my Note at like 10-20 bucks and just glue it on and be all set. That is not the case for the Optimus G, the glass works as the digitizer which I'm assuming why it's a bit expensive.
Edit: I just looked into it some more and it definitely is a complicated task. In all the how to vids they replaced the whole thing, glass and LCD. I guess that's why it's hard to find just the glass. Most sellers sell the glass and LCD together already.
Edit # 2: I finally found just the glass for $38. It actually was 80 last night but I guess the seller dropped the price.

^^^That's what you need. However if you do attempt it be aware that there's no how to videos on separating the glass from lcd. So after heating up the phone to remove it from the housing you're more than likely going to have to reheat the screen again to begin the glass/LCD separation. Oh and you might need some LOCA adhesive and a UV light to bond the new glass in.

you need both >> however i would go for an OEM one ....
i bought a cheap one from china, the ones without the LG logo on top, and it sucks. There is like a small strip that doesnt respond to the touch, its fine because i didnt notice until i started playing with "sketchbook mobile" but still. and it you look at it at an angle through the light its not smooth and perfectly straight like the original one, AND when you tap SLIGHTLY hard .. you see that liquidy effect ... not cool! .. not annoying either .. just a heads up if you do decide to fix it>
